Paul Maholm takes tough loss
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(11:15 pm ET) Braves starting pitcher Paul Maholm pitched well enough to win Tuesday against the Mets, but his offense and bullpen let him down in a 6-1 loss.

Maholm allowed just two runs in seven innings, but the Braves didn't score until after he left the game. He tossed six scoreless innings to open the game, allowing just a two-run homer in the seventh inning.

Maholm allowed just the two runs on nine hits and no walks, while striking out seven. Despite the solid start, Maholm was saddled with the loss in a 6-1 final. He is 7-6 on the season with a 3.57 ERA.

Maholm will make his next start Sunday against the Brewers in Milwaukee. 


Kelly Johnson ties game in ninth
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(11:15 pm ET) Rays second baseman Kelly Johnson homered in the top of the ninth inning Tuesday night in the nightcap of a doubleheader in Boston. Johnson's 11th homer tied the score at one.

Boston won the game with a walk-off homer by Jonny Gomes in the bottom of the ninth.

Johnson finished 2 for 3 with a single and is batting .252 on the year. He's gone 3 for 6 in his last two games but just 3 for 15 in his last five.


Jonny Gomes hits walk-off homer
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(11:13 pm ET) Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes played the hero in the second game of a doubleheader against the Rays Tuesday.

Gomes went deep in the bottom of the ninth for a walk-off, two-run homer, his fifth homer of the year. Gomes won the game for Boston after closer Andrew Bailey blew a save in the top of the ninth.

Gomes finished 1 for 4 with two strikeouts and is batting .209 for the year. The 32-year-old has bursts of production, but he has mostly been cold this season. That said, he's homered twice in his last three games with three RBI.


Jake Odorizzi pitches well in nightcap
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(11:07 pm ET) The Rays called upon Jake Odorizzi to start Tuesday's doubleheader nightcap in Boston. Odorizzi certainly did a fine job.

He gave up only one run on five hits and no walks over 5 2/3 innings and was losing 1-0 when he left the game. The Rays ended up losing in the bottom of the ninth on a walk-off homer by Jonny Gomes.

Odorizzi struck out two and threw 96 pitches on the outing, as his ERA now at 6.00 after his third start. He's yet to factor into a decision and doesn't have another start scheduled.


Ian Kinsler receives three stitches between innings
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(11:05 pm ET) Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler received three stitches on the left side of his chin after absorbing a collision at the plate.

He cut his chin on the mask of catcher John Jaso and had blood all over his uniform. He was stitched up and examined for any signs of a concussion by team doctors between innings. Kinsler remained in the game and finished 1 for 3 with a run scored in a 6-2 win. He is hitting .294 with seven homers and 22 RBI.

Andrew Bailey blows save, pulls win
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(11:03 pm ET) Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey was unsuccessful in doing his job Tuesday night in the second game of a doubleheader against the Rays. Bailey blew his third save of the season as he couldn't protect a 1-0 lead.

He gave up a solo homer to Kelly Johnson that tied the score at one before getting three outs. He threw 18 pitches as the game went into the bottom of the ninth.

Boston's Jonny Gomes hit a two-run walk-off homer for the Red Sox and Bailey came away the winning pitcher. He improved his record to 3-0 with a 3.22 ERA.

Bailey has given up five earned runs over his last four appearances. He's surrendered three homers and walked four over that stretch with two saves and two blown. He has eight saves in 11 chances.


Felix Doubront goes eight shutout in no-decision
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:56 pm ET) Red Sox starter Felix Doubront had never thrown a pitch in the eighth inning in a game in which he started in his major-league career -- until Tuesday against Tampa Bay, that is.

Doubront started the second game of a doubleheader for the Red Sox and took a no-decision after eight shutout innings due to Andrew Bailey's blown save in the ninth.

Doubront held a 1-0 lead before Bailey gave up a game-tying solo homer to Kelly Johnson. Doubront gave up just three hits and did not walk a batter to go along with six strikeouts. He threw 93 pitches and lowered his ERA to 4.38.

Doubront has been giving the Red Sox a chance to win, though his last victory came on June 1 at the Yankees. He is expected to make his next appearance Sunday at Detroit.


Zack Wheeler effectively wild in debut
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:48 pm ET) If Mets' pitching prospect Zack Wheeler had one obstacle to overcome in his battle to reach the majors, it was his control. In his major-league debut, that issue cropped up a few times, but Wheeler overcame his shaky command to earn a 6-1 win over the Braves.

Wheeler walked two batters in the first inning and five overall in six innings, but limited Atlanta's big-swinging offense to just one extra-base hit. Wheeler allowed four hits overall while striking out seven, though he threw just 55 of 102 pitches for strikes.

Wheeler didn't allow a run, and he picked up 14 of his 55 strikes via swings and misses. Wheeler is expected to be optioned back to Triple-A Las Vegas after the game, but he'll be recalled for his next turn in the rotation, scheduled for June 25 at the White Sox. 


Ryan Braun seeks second opinion
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(10:47 pm ET) Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun visited Dr. Don Sheridan in Phoenix, Ariz. for a second opinion on his injured right thumb, MLB.com reports.

Braun, who is on the disabled list for the first time in his career, is expected to rejoin the team on Wednesday. He has been shut down from baseball activities since landing on the DL June 14. He is eligible to be activated from the disabled list as early as June 25.

Jeff Francis suffers through blowout
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:37 pm ET) Rockies starting pitcher Jeff Francis barely got out of the first inning Tuesday against Toronto, but eventually gutted out six innings in an 8-3 loss.

Francis gave up four runs on six hits in the first inning before settling down to hold the Blue Jays to three scoreless innings in a row beginning in the second. He allowed three solo home runs in the fifth and sixth innings to finish his outing.

Francis was tagged for eight runs on 10 hits in his six innings of work, while throwing 60 of 88 pitches for strikes. He struck out two, as his record dropped to 2-5.

Francis carries a 6.58 ERA into his next start, scheduled for Sunday in Washington.
